FAMILY DAY
Music and Storytelling for All Ages
Sun. July 20 // 2-4pm // Sheldon Museum of Art
Join us for Family Day at Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln—a joyful celebration of music and storytelling for all ages.
We are proud to partner with the esteemed Sheldon Museum of Art as they embark on a new series – Family Day – for all ages to enjoy the museum’s groundbreaking exhibitions and innovative programming.
For the July edition of Family Day with Nebraska Crossroads, you can enjoy a special children’s storytelling concert with Crossroads’ artists, a evocative performance by Nordic-folk duo iiS in the Museum’s Great Hall, and a hands-on, storytelling-through-poetry-workshop with the wryly perceptive and truly Nebraskan wordsmith and former Nebraska State Poet, Matt Mason.
